Does ADT Work with Google Home And Amazon Alexa?

You know ADT has watched over families for over 150 years, but you may ask yourself if this trusted name in residential security is able to offer the everyday convenience of voice activation. The answer is an absolute yes! ADT works with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, and there’s a lot you can control. Discover what’s possible and browse tips for adding voice commands into your comprehensive home security system.

What Can You Do With Voice Commands In Your Las Vegas Home?

Now that you’ve confirmed you can utilize your ADT home security with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, you’re likely wondering what you can do. Here are a few examples:

Arm and disarm your system
Dim smart lights
Activate connected smart locks
Adjust thermostat settings

If you’re busy helping kids or making dinner, and need a simple way to turn on lights or lower the temperature, just vocalize a command. It’s a breeze and permits you to manage your system without picking up your phone or navigating to the touchscreen panel.

Use These Voice Instructions To Control Your ADT Equipment

A short verbal command is all you need to activate your ADT smart home devices. Keep in mind, if you speak an instruction to a specific device, like your bedroom light or front door lock, you’ll have to use the same name you used when first configuring the device.

Control your ADT tools with the following Google Home commands:

Hey Google, arm my system stay.
Hey Google, arm my system away.
Hey Google, lock the (door name).
Hey Google, turn on the (light name).
Hey Google, set the thermostat to 68 degrees.

Amazon Alexa operates about the same, but requires somewhat different commands. Here several sample commands:

Alexa, arm ADT in away mode
Alexa, disarm ADT
Alexa, turn off the (light name).
Alexa, set (dimmer name) to 50%.
Alexa, set the (thermostat name) to 70 degrees.

You can also use voice commands to ask questions. You might want to find out if your back door is locked or the current temperature setting. Just say a command like, “Hey Google, what is the temperature of the thermostat?” and you’ll receive a response.

Is There Anything You Can’t Do With Spoken Commands?

Voice activation comes with some restrictions. For example, you can’t adjust settings in your ADT smartphone app by saying a command. You’ll also have to provide a PIN when completing certain actions, such as disarming your home’s security system or unlocking a door.

Establishing voice activation only takes a few minutes no matter what smart speaker you own. You’ll follow these instructions:
